Heat Keeps Winning, Nuggets Lose, and Other News

The Miami Heat has now won 27 straight games, just six shy of tying the 1971-72 L.A. Lakers' NBA-record winning streak of 33 games. The Heat is next in action Wednesday at Chicago.

However, the Denver Nuggets didn't fare so well in their attempt to extend their 15-game winning streak, falling 110-86 to New Orleans.

Women's collegiate hockey doesn't get a lot of attention here on the Hot Hand website. However, the University of Minnesota squad definitely made news yesterday, winning its second straight NCAA title and, in the process, its 49th straight game. This season's Gophers went 41-0, building upon the eight straight wins with which the 2011-12 team finished the season.
